These crispy homemade Hash Browns are made from scratch with just 3 ingredients! Fried in a skillet until golden brown and crispy, they are delicious served with eggs and bacon for breakfast.
Wash and peel potatoes, then shredd on the large hole side of the grater.
1 lb Russet potatoes
Place them in a colander and rinse under cold tap water.
Drain and squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a kitchen towel or paper towels. Season potatoes with salt and pepper.
½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Heat up half of the oil in a large skillet.
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
Place half of the shredded potatoes in the skillet and spread thin.
Cook undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes over medium heat.
Check if the bottom is golden brown and flip. Cook another 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove from pan and repeat with remaining potatoes.
Serve garnished with chopped chives or parsley and more salt and pepper.
Notes
Spread the potato mixture thin in the skillet so the hash browns will be crispy and cook evenly, but not too thin so they will fall apart.
I recommend using starchy Russet potatoes. They will cook till crispy while creamier potatoes (like red or golden) that have more moisture will remain soft.
